ln,,or OF Mount Tabor Lutheran church
pl"achcd here on Sunday morning and night
MAY list, and administered the sacrament of
the Lords Supper
Che attendance on Sunday morning was
Thought to be the largest ever known here.
The church was crowded, the isle being full
and many unable to get in the door. At night
ii" church was full again. The number of
un,lnbers that communcd was the largest in
the history of the church The preparatory
srrvice on Saturday afternoon and night were
also well attended
On Sunday evening before services Mis-.
.'ionary society was organized by elccting y
President, Vice President, Secretary and
treasurer. Twcnty-nine members enrolled
when the bell rang for public service and the
meeting adjourned for two weeks. The in.
,,rcst awakened by Rev. Wires instructions
and stirring remarks led many others to ex-
press their intention Of enrolling their names
Is members. From the interest manifested
il is thought that the membcrshi Up of this So
clcty by the next meeting will run up to IS
or 100.
The attendance and interest manifested
must have been very encouring to Rev. Wire
and congregation.
Our farmers arc very busy with corn plant
ing; nature is putting on her beautiful robe
and promises fruitful year.
